Abstract
Summary Low levels of irreversibly sickled cells occur in patients with sickle‐cell anaemia and splenomegaly. The Hb F level appears to influence both the level of ISCs and the persistence of splenomegaly. It is suggested that low levels of ISCs allow splenomegaly to persist and hence are the cause and not primarily the result of persistent splenomegaly.
